Luke Likes 'Negative'

Complain and complain and complain. Oh my, complain. Sounds bad, sounds bad when you complain, right? It does sound bad. And in English, when you complain, it means you are not happy or you are not satisfied, satisfied about something and you are annoyed, annoyed, so a little irritated, annoyed, irritated because something is wrong. And plenty, plenty of things can be wrong about your accommodation.

So let's have a look, let's have a look at some negative reviews, so opinions left by the guests, the guests who stayed at a place, and they are not really happy, they are quite annoyed and would like to complain about it.Are you ready for this much fun? Yeah, let's go.

So here's the first one about the noise, the noise, so the loud, unpleasant, unpleasant sound:

'So the evening noise was all the time, all the time and I had to keep the windows closed because of that which was very irritating and we couldn't get fresh air because of that'.

Alright, quite reasonable, so logical, reasonable, we don't like the noise. Here comes another one, another complaint, complaint:

'Okay, little light, little light and the lift broken, the lift was broken, the soap was missing, missing - so there was none - and the light in the kitchen cannot be turned off completely so it has to be on all the time'.

Fair enough, fair enough, good complaint, well done. And a lot of people complain about the check-in, so the way they get into the apartment. And here is one:

'So we couldn't get in and we had to stay 30 minutes outside and couldn't get the instructions because they were so complicated, so complicated and nobody, nobody even came, came to help us - that's bad, that's bad - so we had to text and take photos and finally we got in, finally. But overall - so all things together - overall very bad experience'.

Yeah, I agree, seems fair to complain, let's do it then. Yeah, and a lot of people complain about how much space they have, how much space they actually have, actually. Here is a good one:

'So, the single room is really a closet. It's really a closet, not a bedroom. You cannot think it's a room because it's so small. Plus, it doesn't have a window, it must be a closet then, not a bedroom. So good location and a wonderful balcony but it's really the size of a closet, not a bedroom'.

A good one, a good one, a good review. And what about the utilities, some utilities, facilities you can find around. Let's have a look:

'Oh the facilities, oh my God! So we tried one stove they had and one toaster and what happened? Every time we did that, every time we did that, the electricity would go off - so stop working - would go off'.

Quite useless if you want to use the appliances, useless, so there is no use for that, useless. I don't know how you can live like that. And maybe one more, one more here:

'It says here, it says here in the advertisement - advertisment, the official information about the apartment - that there is air conditioning but in fact, in fact it was two fans, two fans, not air conditioning, and the single bed in the ad, in the inadvertisement is really a mattress, is really a mattress that is lying on the floor. That's it, no bed, just a mattress'.

Oh my, you know what? I feel better already after reading all these negative, negative reviews. Good exercise really. So here is an idea for you. How about you complain to me in the comments? I would be very, very positive, positive to read it.

My pleasure.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!
